More Obama: Unlike Democrats, Republicans “do what they’re told”

posted at 4:45 pm on October 22, 2009 by Allahpundit

Deep thoughts from a guy who insists that Rush Limbaugh is the pied piper of the GOP despite the fact that primary voters nominated his least favorite candidate last year, and who offers this at a moment when the biggest story raging on the right is a civil war among Republicans over Hoffman and Scozzafava. Jay Nordlinger’s already written two posts at the Corner about how insulting this is, with more, perhaps, on the way:

Barack Obama is pretty interesting when he gets in front of his money-givers — his biggest fans, I guess. In New York, he said, “Democrats are an opinionated bunch. You know, the other side, they just kinda sometimes do what they’re told. Democrats, y’all thinkin’ for yourselves.” Last year, in San Francisco, he said of Middle Americans, “It’s not surprising . . . they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them . . .”

He speaks a lot differently — a lot more respectfully — when he has one of his big national addresses: Then, we’re not red states or blue states but the United States, blah, blah, blah. Well, which is the real O? The nice, inclusive guy or the sneering, contemptuous partisan? I vote the latter: I think it’s the real O, unfortunately: the one who speaks to Democrats in New York and San Francisco.

And the Oval Office too, don’t forget. If you’re looking for a silver lining, here it is: This is as close as we’re ever likely to get to him admitting that his big problem on ObamaCare isn’t the nefarious — and powerless — GOP but those hardheaded, free-thinkin’ Blue Dogs who aren’t as eager as he is to toss another $900 billion in entitlements down the federal sinkhole. Thank heaven for small mercies. Click the image to watch.

It’s quaint how you guys all get in line at the end of the day. Lots of bluster and flag-waving, but when it comes down to it, you’re good little
I heart sheep.

Bahhh!

Perhaps this phenomenon happens at the end of the day, because everyone is home from work. You know…those places people go to, to earn a living, and hope they have enough to live on, after paying for your sorry arse to sustain itself.

Yeah, that 9/12 teabagger-fest looked like a blast! You teabaggers might want to get on the treadmill before the next gathering – many of you didn’t look too good. You could hear the chafing of thighs as the crowd waddled around.

Hey Numbnuts, many of the people in the crowds you take such delight in demeaning are the very people whose taxes has been supporting your sorry worthless ass. Some were also veterans who served to insure that you have every right under the constitution to spout the drivel you have been writing in your posts. And I would bet that even after meeting you and seeing what a sorry sack of shit you surely are, they would still step up to defend your right to continue to do so. Why would they risk their lives to defend a piece of worthless protoplasm like you? Because they are Americans and patriots, unlike you, you socialist turd. and whereas I have no problem pointing the mistake nature made by allowing your father’s sperm to survive the swim upriver, these folks would probably still treat you with some respect. So…. go back to your basement, take your meds, play with yourself or your action figures some more, and leave this thread to the adults.

I would respond to this statement by President Obama but I have not received my marching orders yet today. I am only signing in to let the collective know I am ready to hate but I am waiting for a direction.

The man is such a jackass…. I’m sorry I really want to come up with a reasoned, rational, retort to his latest comment but I can’t. For his entire presidency and campaign (same thing) he’s let his true nasty side show when he let’s his guard down. I am no longer surprised and I really am not that upset. He’s just a pure jackass, plain and simple… And he’s our president for at least 3.25 more year. God help us… ( and I’m an athiest).

Troll Update: There has been speculation by more than one astute poster that simplesimon is actually the banned Troll known as capitulus (female).

But don’t they all sound alike?

I mean how can you tell the difference b/w capitulus (I barely remeber her) and getalife? The bleating one-liners are all the same. At least some of our trolls (crr6) have interesting things to say -sometimes.

“Democrats are an opinionated bunch. You know, the other side, they just kinda sometimes do what they’re told. Democrats, y’all thinkin’ for yourselves.”

He talks down to these ‘erudite’ clowns, and they sit there like sheep, paying 15,000/plate to be insulted. It’s pure platinum. Then he calls us “sheep”, they buy it, nodding, while he uses acorn-like “thninkin” and “talkin”.

Fools, he’s got you in his pants, and he’s hitting your heads with a sledgehammer, concurrently.

In your dreams Republicans do what they are told DUMB-0. AND DIRTBAG, WE ESPECIALLY DON`T DO WHAT MARXIST CRYBABIES TELL US TO DO. GOT THAT? NOW GO SUCK YOUR THUMB AND CRY TO “NAPOLEAN COMPLEX” ballerina.
